THE PLUM 961 
Denniston’s SurErs. : 
An excellent seedling, from Mr. Denniston’s famous plum 
orchard, near Albany, N. Y., of the Green Gage family, a 
third larger than the latter variety, and nearly as rich in 
flavour. 3 
Branches downy. Fruit round, a little flattened, and having a 
distinct suture, often extending quite round the fruit. Skin pale 
yellowish-green, marked with a few large purple blotches and 
dots, and overspread with a thin bloom. Stalk rough, three- 
fourths of an inch long, set in a cavity of moderate size. Flesh 
very thick, (the stone being small,) moderately juicy, with a 
rich vinous flavour. Stone parts readily, and is roundish and 
thick. Middle and last of August.

The Diaprée Rouge, or Red Diaper, is a very large and hand- 
some French plum. . Mr. Thompson considers it synonymous 
‘with a fine English variety, better known here as the Mima, or 
Imperial Diadem. As the 
Mimms plum has been fully 
tested by us, and proves to 
be a first rate fruit in all re- 
spects in this climate, wegive 
the following description 
and outline drawn from the 
fruit, as produced by us. 
A rather slow grower, 
branches almost smooth. 
Fruit large, obovate. Skin 
of a Bogaert with a 
few golden specks, and a 
light blue bloom easily rub- 
bed off. Stalk three-fourths 
of an inch long, slender, 
hairy, slightly inserted. 
Flesh pale-green, juicy, 
very melting, rich, and de- 
licious ; separating from 
=the stone, which is quite 
tall. Last of August.
